    I have had a bad experience with OllinBoard

    It's true. I exist, As do others. We occupy space, and have mass. Therefore we matter.

    Fibretech FlyPAN 2015 Dual Diag 12S

    My aluminum box finally broke for the last time yesterday. I think i'm done with metal boxes. This thread has definitely inspired me to go pick up some fiberglassing supplies and start on my own custom covers.

    Evolve Carbon AT with 50km+ range

    their ru site doesn't charge VAT apparently. from https://ru.nkon.nl/ without the VAT shipped to the US, 60 of those Samsung INR18650-25Rs would be US $264.68 From that same site, 30 of the the LG 18650HE2s 2500mAh cells add up to about US $117.25, and 60 puts us at about US $222.30. So...

    Evolve Carbon AT with 50km+ range

    Just did a very preliminary search for the LG HE2 2500 mAh 18650s on amazon... the supply looks hit or miss. Nobody seems to have a lot of them, but they do seem to be going for under $6 a piece, so price wise are comparable to the ones in this build thread. You would just have to scatter your...

    Vacuum Forming Set up -Cheap-

    I'm glad somebody posted this here. I've spent the last couple of months watching people do this on youtube. This is how i plan on making the enclosures for my future builds. A lot of people use pegboard as the base for their vacuum table and also drill an additional set of holes between all...

    Evolve Carbon AT with 50km+ range

    I can go about an hour before my feet go tingly and i have to get off and walk around. My legs are good, but my feet practically go numb. I've been thinking about getting some more expensive skate shoes, or maybe even some nike airs or gel insoles or something. By the time the battery is dead...

    Turnigy 200 amp esc

    I'm interested in whatever you find out about this because sensorless ESCs and motors aren't going anywhere, and, much like 6S systems in general, are still a solid build option and are set to only go down in price over time, making them a less expensive solution for somebody who just wants to...

    How far is your average eboard ride?

    In my experience, its good to just get extra of everything that wears out or could get lost. Last time i ordered belts i got like four of them instead of just one or two. Good thing, too, because now i'm on my last pair.

    How far is your average eboard ride?

    You can barely even get a battery shipped to your door, i think only one or two companies will deliver them. I'm curious what kind of hoops hobby king and others had to jump through. I planned on making a flight case for my electric longboard and then realized that there was a good chance they...

    Hacking a Boosted Board

    well.. there's this... by that generic company that seems to make some or all of the parts for those Bench Wheel boards...

    How far is your average eboard ride?

    What you get out of your electric board totally depends on how you ride it, which seems obvious, but the difference might be bigger than a lot of people think. Here's some numbers from a couple of very different runs on the same path on my current 6S dual drive rig. I'm using MapMyRide, a free...

    You guys heard of Benchwheel?

    I was wondering that too. It has to be keyed in some way, but its not obvious how. Those motors look familiar.

    My Build

    I used to be ship fitter for litton-grumman at ingall's shipyards (navy ship contracts) so i have welded in the past enough to build something like this but that was about 16 or 17 years ago and my job had all the gear, so i currently do not have a welder, torch, grinder, or any of the other...

    @torqueboards These parts look sick. Expect an order from me within a few months :)

    My Build

    Once I get the process for pressing decks nailed down and polished I will be posting all of my trials and tribulations here along with the successful final result for all to enjoy. This weekend I'm taking @torqueboards advice and building a big wooden hydraulic press using some pressure treated...

    @Ptown_Cruiser That is a sweet build. I love the enclosure! :D

    Fibretech FlyPAN 2015 Dual Diag 12S

    This is encouraging since I'm basically going to be using this same process on the decks I'm designing. The results I'm seeing here are very promising. Thanks for the posts! :D

    Fibretech FlyPAN 2015 Dual Diag 12S

    what we need is a flexible BMS that can handle a small number of off-the-shelf lipo battery configurations and allow balanced charging via a single port, while still allowing the higher discharge rates that make some of us want to stick with LiPo to begin with. I found this on the forums a...

    Fibretech FlyPAN 2015 Dual Diag 12S

    Kevlar Fibre! Then you could tell people your ride is bullet proof! I use 83mm 80a flywheels and I'm happy with them. I've thought about dropping down to 75mm 75a These Whites if i can rig up a proper ratio of pulleys on those wheels since they aren't exactly amenable to pulleys and would...

    Fibretech FlyPAN 2015 Dual Diag 12S

    The bike trails i frequent rarely allow me to exceed 18mph on average because of the winding and the people. A typical cruise is more along the lines of 15mph. Also, its a gorgeous area and the scenery just makes you want to chill and cruise. It has some decent flat straightaways though, and...

    Fibretech FlyPAN 2015 Dual Diag 12S

    That's about 29mph. I topped out my dual drive 6S at 31mph (verified with a GPS biking app on my phone) with a pair of propdrive 270kv motors. I can 100% verify with absolute scientific certainty from that experience that it is in fact scary as shit. I can't wait to do it again. I just got...

    Hell with a flexible drive shaft, you could mount this 9 horsepower Stinger V8 between your feet: http://www.gizmag.com/worlds-smallest-supercharged-four-stroke-v8-production-engine/24372/ line up some dual exhaust going out under the kick tail and design a rear truck with a differential and...

    OpenSource Handheld Controller (E-go similar)

    This looks great! I still have a makerbot printout of your older one sitting on my desk at home waiting for me to start moving parts into it. Its worth repeating: if somebody decided to get some of these injection molded i'd buy one or three. Maybe even a lot more down the road if i start...
